Title: Sharp binary-information contraction on the discrete cube.

Abstract: We prove sharp contraction of the information carried by a binary channel under independent symmetric noise on a uniform discrete cube. At fixed initial information, a noisy coordinate retains the most information. The Boolean specialization resolves the Courtade–Kumar conjecture and gives an output-entropy refinement. We also establish a stronger mean-dependent entropy-production bound. The proof combines an explicit three-point optimizer for the local joining problem, two entropy capacities, and a common-output thinning inequality, followed by dimension induction and integration along the noise semigroup.

This abstract is a catalogue record. It is not a verification and not a premise. It does not close O.1. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted.
